Jackfruit Chips: A South Indian Delight Loved Worldwide
Close your eyes and imagine biting into a golden, crispy chip with a hint of natural sweetness and a crunch. The first bite brings back memories of jackfruit, the "king of fruits" that is beloved in India and across the world. However, this seasonal fruit is not accessible year-round. Sweet Karam Coffee provides this unique fruit in the form of chips, keeping its original taste. Here's how we make them and highlight the jackfruit chips benefits for you.
The Legacy of Jackfruit Chips in South India
For years, the summer mornings in Kerala meant peeling the jackfruit's flesh, slicing it into thin layers, and frying batches of chips. Onam and Vishu festivals are incomplete without bowls of these crispy bites to share among neighbours. From seeds to flesh and sap, every part of the fruit is used. Sweet Karam Coffee continues this tradition by combining history with modern convenience.
What Makes Jackfruit Chips Special?
Regular chips are quite ordinary now because Jackfruit chips are very different. The unripe fruit's mild sweetness complements the earthy kick of turmeric and the richness of coconut oil. Every single slice is fried to a delicate crisp which is lighter than potato chips but twice as addictive. Pair them with tea, crumble them over curd rice, or eat them solo between office work.
Jackfruit Chips Benefits: A Better Option
Cultural Delight
In Kerala, gifting jackfruit chips is about sharing joy. These chips symbolise prosperity and are often served during weddings or housewarmings. With Sweet Karam Coffee’s home-style preparation, you get that same tradition without the sticky fingers.
Versatile Snack for Every Occasion
You can store a pack of these chips in your office drawer, gym bag, or picnic basket. Their light crunch works perfectly as an evening snack, a side dish or a festive season. They are also your perfect desk companion during your busy schedule with no crumbs, no fuss, just flavour.
Long Shelf Life and Travel-Friendly
Due to their low moisture, these chips stay crisp for weeks. Sweet Karam Coffee uses vacuum sealing so that it can survive cross-continent flights or monsoon humidity.
Unique Gifting Option
Are you tired of gifting chocolates? Jackfruit chips are a breath of fresh air. Sweet Karam Coffee wraps them in eco-friendly packs, making them feel like a handcrafted gift from Kerala’s heart.
How Jackfruit Chips Are Made?
Let’s break down the magic:
Step 1: Picking the Perfect Jackfruit
Only firm, semi-ripe jackfruits make the cut. If they are too ripe, they’ll turn mushy and if raw, they will be bitter.
Step 2: Perfect Slicing
A sharp knife glides through the flesh, creating paper-thin slices.
Step 3: Spicing It Right
A dash of turmeric gives the chips their sunny glow and a hint of earthiness.
Step 4: Frying in Coconut Oil
We do not use any palm oil here. Kerala’s love for coconut oil adds a fragrant depth you can’t fake.
Step 5: Adding Saltwater
A splash of saltwater in hot oil seasons the chips evenly.
Step 6: Cooling and Crisping
Drain on paper towels, cool completely, and store in airtight jars.
Sweet Karam Coffee’s Twist: We use vacuum frying- a method that locks in crunch with 30% less oil. No preservatives, no maida, just jackfruit and care.
From Kerala to the World: A Snack Without Borders
Jackfruit chips aren’t just Kerala’s secret anymore. In Vietnam, they’re street food stars. In Berlin, vegan cafes serve them as “plant-based crisps.” South Indian expats order them online to cure homesickness.
